Is this example of COVID stats in my city flawed?
A news story just aired, saying the COVID-19 virus was disproportionately effecting African Americans in my city.
Evidently, 68 percent of the COVID-19 patients in my city are African American. This is causing great concern,.
However, the percentage of the population in my city who are African American is eighty percent, With those stats, shouldn’t the percentage of COVID patients ALSO be eighty percent?
